Just starting the re-build on Noodle and have just repalced the barrels with new standard Honda base gaskets. Just to check I put the front head on with the used (compressed) head gasket and took a reading at 3 points around the bore with solder and a micrometer. The average measurement works out to 1.18mm.

Now shoot me down gently if I'm wrong but this does seem a bit 'wide' to me. I've not yet checked the rear cylinder squish but wondered what you 'NSR experts' thought, and if it is too 'wide' can I do anything else apart from skim the heads? E.G... Thinner base gaskets...or none at all and just use gasket cement!
I have heard somebody talk about different base gaskets....where can I get them?

Thanks in advance.

Mike
